Kevin Boyle says R.J. Barrett is 'arguably the best player' in the NBA Draft and that he will be a 'multi-year' All-Star in the NBA. Barrett will be Barrett's sixth-top 3 pick in the NBA Draft since 2011.
The left-handed Canadian has been compared to James Harden because of his scoring ability. Entering his senior season at Montverde Academy, he led Team Canada to a gold medal in the FIBA U19 World Championship in Egypt, beating a John Calipariled USA team in the semifinals along the way. Barrett went for 38 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists in that game and then led Canada to its first gold medal on the international stage with a win over Italy in the final.
"People forget that R.J. Barrett was the USA Today Player of the Year," Boyle said."It's almost like you're not allowed to mention it because that would be not pleasing to Zion." “R.J. Barrett could easily be the best player in the draft,” Rose said Wednesday on ESPN’s ‘Get Up!” “If I’m the Knicks, yes I hold on to the pick.”
The school"was as good as any that I'd seen," Rowan, now the executive vice president of Canada Basketball,."Academically, everything kind of checked off...And then on the court, [they were] clearly defensive-minded, disciplined, grinding, getting better. Constantly, daily. And when I looked at all the athletes that [Boyle] had in the gym, I thought, 'He's going to get better. My son is going to get better here.'Montverde Academy's R.J.
